Gleeok makes three appearances in {{TLoZ}}, all defeated in a similar fashion. Using the Sword, [[Link]] must cut off each of the heads on the beast. Once one of the heads is detached from the body, it will float around the room shooting fireballs at Link.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= A huge dragon that has 2 to 4 heads and spits out beams at Link. Heads that Link cuts off from its body fly around in the air. |game= TLoZ|page= 38}}</ref> He must avoid the fireballs and cut off the other heads. The [[Magical Shield]] cannot defend Link from Gleeok's fireballs.

Both heads will remove two of the four pegs by snapping them with their jaws. Each head will take turns at trying to bite Link, then will charge up for a powered blast. The red dragon head will fire a fiery blast that will scorch him, as well as leave a trail of fire on the platform. The blue dragon head will fire a blast of ice that will freeze Link on contact. While charging, however, both dragons will be sucking in energy, exposing their tongues. Link can pull the head down by tying one end of the grappling hook to a post and using it as an anchor on the dragon's head. Once down, Link must slash at the dragon head before it recovers. Repeating this process to both heads will defeat the dragon, and Link will obtain a [[Heart Container]], extra sands for the {{Term|PH|Phantom Hourglass (Item)|link}}, and the second of the three [[Pure Metal]]s, Azurine.

Gleeok appears in two episodes of {{TLoZ|TV Series}}. In "[[Kiss'n Tell]]", [[Ganon]] sends a Gleeok and a [[Gibdo]] disguised as a beautiful maiden to a forest, where the Gleeok pretends to be attacking the maiden so that they can lure [[Link]] into the scene. However, [[Princess Zelda]] arrives instead and proceeds to try and fight off the Gleeok by throwing various kinds of fruits at the three-headed monster.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=And maybe an adventure.

I want to be rescued by a handsome hero!|name=Maiden|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=4}}</ref> Soon after, Link appears and battles against the Gleeok, who quickly [[zap]]s the two outer heads. With only one head left, Link grabs the Gleeok's tail, but the monster begins to run around in circles. Zelda, who was eating a banana from the fruit basket, throws the banana peel to the ground and causes the Gleeok to slip,<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=Yeah, yeah, but let's get this over with.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=4}}</ref> allowing Link to deliver the final blow and send the Gleeok back to the [[Evil Jar]].

In "[[Hitch in the Works]]", when Link arrives at the [[Underworld]] and tries to stop the wedding between Princess Zelda and Ganon, the evil wizard summons a [[Gleeok]] from the [[Evil Jar]] to attack Link.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=She's under my control, hero! And as for you, you have your own problems!|name=Ganon|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> Link fires three Sword Beams at the monster's necks, but the heads separate and come after him. He skillfully dodges their attacks, causing them to fly straight into Ganon, thus destroying the evil wizard and the remains of the Gleeok.

A four-headed Gleeok appears in the ''[[Choices]]'' story of the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}}. Link encounters it as he is traveling through the [[Underworld]] in search of Princess Zelda. Although Link at first seems to have trouble fighting the Gleeok,<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Hey, a Gleeok is no problem! A four-headed Gleeok...that's something else!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=5}}</ref> Link is able to cut off all four of the Gleeok's heads with a little help from [[Miff]]. The disembodied heads then begin to attack the young hero, but after some struggle, Link is able to defeat all of the Gleeok's heads.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Not bad, huh? Sometimes I amaze even myself!|book=The Legend of Zelda|publisher=Valiant Comics|page=7}}</ref>

In the {{ALttP|Ishinomori}}, Link is attacked by monsters called Gleeocs in the [[Palace of Darkness]]. However, the monsters are bright orange lizards with green gems on their heads, and thus physically resemble smaller versions of the [[Helmasaur King]] which is fought in the game. After Link is discovered wandering around the palace by a [[Rocklops]], he is attacked by a Gleeok that was called upon by the Rocklops. Although he defeats it easily with the [[Master Sword]], soon more [[Hinox]]s riding Gleeocs begin to head towards him.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Link!! There's more on the way!|book=A Link to the Past|publisher=Nintendo Power|page=12}}</ref> Link then gives [[Epheremelda]] a [[bomb]], which eventually denotes the [[firecorn]] stockpile and destroys the entire palace and, with it, the Gleeocs.

*The masks Gleeok wear in {{PH|-}} are similar to that of the [[Helmaroc King]]. Without their masks, they also bear a striking resemblance to [[Valoo]].
